A new year full of vitamins!

As I was in the 7th arrondissement at the marché rue Cler, I stumbled upon this stand of bright orange Clementines. Knwowing that I over indulged myself this year at Christmas (as always), I picked some up. In France we eat these during the Christmas season and winter months. I love them because they are
seedless, sweet, juicy, and packed with vitamin C and the fiber content helps fill you up and satisfy hunger! Some believe that it was Father Clement, an Algerian monk, who discovered them in the mandarin garden at his orphanage and named it clementino. Others claim that the Clementine originated in China much earlier and then migrated to the Mediterranean.

Happy New Year! I have been following your blog daily for about 6 months and thought I should comment. I love your work and your observations of Paris. I have only spent 1 week in your beautiful city - in a wheelchair, no less, and I fell totally in love with it. I cannot wait to visit when I can walk around and see more of it.

(And no, as some Parisians asked me, I did not plan to come to Paris with a broken leg. I broke it in Normandy, spent 3 days in the hospital in Cherbourg and then visited Paris - my poor husband lost 10 pounds that week lifting my wheelchair up and down the curbs of Paris.)

Your blog has provided untold pleasure to me - I look forward to clicking on it every evening to seeing your newest photo and comment. Have a happy new year!

What a Great photo ! Vitamin C prescription is a good idea during the Winter season! Plus eating Clem's from the Alps, Eric, certainly count more!! May I wish you a very nice New Year's Eve! It's almost time to get ready to celebrate in France. I know some countries have already made it but not France yet! 6 hours again in 2010 and I'm tking the advantage to say a huge thanks to you Eric for all you have done for us here! That was a fabulous year once more and I'm looking forward to the next 365 new days and photos from you, like Debs and like many more. For my part, tonight is going to be very quiet as usual (descente aux flambeaux, feu d'artifice, diner léger mais de fete et champagne pour Minuit quand même tradition:)) Thanks to your blog, we've kept in touch and that's a real blast following you each day :)

Yes, you are right this is a traditional fruit in the Asian countries during the winter months and holidays. Asians will buy small trees with this fruit and put it in their homes or work places. More commonly, they put the fruit in a bowl before their Buddha in their home or work place.

A zesty beginning for a new year. Sweet, aromatic, and juicy. Nice to feel, smell, taste: enjoyable for many senses. But messy and with a bit of acid. If you're careless, a squirt will stain or make your eye water. Like love.

Thank you for another essential article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a complete way of writing? I have a presentation incoming week, and I am on the lookout for such information.
